A strategic role established to lead the post-acquisition evolution of the company's core platform. After leading the company through its acquisition as CTO, I deliberately took on this position to focus deep architectural expertise on our most critical technical assets. The mandate was to harden the foundation and engineer the platform for the next decade of scale.

* Leading the technical strategy to improve system resilience, developer productivity, and long-term cost-efficiency.
* Driving the platform's evolution towards an API-first architecture to enhance system integrability and ensure M&A readiness.
* Directing initiatives to pay down strategic technical debt incurred during the pre-acquisition hyper-growth phase.
* Mentoring senior engineers and architects to foster a culture of deep technical ownership.

Head of Platform & Architecture

Promoted to CTO after successfully building the foundational engineering organization and processes. My primary mandate was to build a world-class technology engine that would drive the company through its hyper-growth phase and a successful private equity acquisition.

* Executive & Financial Ownership: As a key member of the executive team, I owned the P&L in the high single-digit millions (€M) for the technology organization and co-developed the overall business strategy.
* Acquisition Leadership: Played an integral role in the successful acquisition by a private equity firm, leading the technical due diligence process and ensuring organizational readiness.
* Hyper-Growth Scaling: Architected the scaling plan that grew the engineering team from 7 to 55 members, building a high-retention (98%) culture that became a key company asset.
* Technical Strategy & Modernization: Defined and executed the engineering strategy and technical roadmap to modernize the legacy platform into a scalable, cloud-native architecture, drastically improving uptime (to 99.71%) and delivery speed (slashing cycle time by 73%).

Brought on as the first senior engineering leader to professionalize the technology department and prepare it for scale. During this foundational period, I established the core processes for hiring, career development, and agile delivery that enabled our subsequent hyper-growth and laid the groundwork for my promotion to CTO to lead the company's broader strategic initiatives.

Head of Engineering

Kaufland e-commerce

Promoted to Head of Architecture to own the technology vision for the e-commerce platform. My mission was to create the strategic roadmap for modernization and align all engineering teams on the execution of our most critical, large-scale technical initiatives.

* Enterprise Modernization Strategy: Defined the target microservices-based architecture and roadmap, guiding multiple teams in the successful refactoring of monolithic legacy systems into scalable, high-performance services.
* Large-Scale Program Leadership: Managed and directed major technical programs, including the successful introduction of a centralized Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution and the platform's software internationalization.
* Developer Productivity: Drove key initiatives that enhanced the overall developer experience (DevEx) and productivity across the entire engineering organization.

Head Of Software Architecture

As a Head of Area, I was responsible for the product and technical leadership of the "Explore & Discover" domain, which was central to the customer's shopping experience.

* Cross-Functional Leadership: Led a 30-member organization consisting of 4 cross-functional product teams, partnering effectively with Product and Design to deliver high-impact results and foster a culture of innovation.
* Business & Product Impact: Drove a 30% increase in the shop's conversion rate by implementing a lean, data-driven product development process focused on rapid prototyping and A/B testing.
* Team Development: Hired, mentored, and developed engineers and team leads, successfully building a high-performing, product-focused group.

I am a strategic engineering leader who partners with the C-suite to build technology organizations that drive business growth. My career is focused on leading the transformation and rapid scaling of companies, from high-growth startups to established enterprises.

At GotPhoto, the core challenge was to scale the entire technology organization while simultaneously modernizing its legacy platform. I defined the engineering strategy and technical roadmap for this complex transformation and was entrusted with a P&L in the high single-digit millions (€M) to execute it. This journey involved scaling the team from 7 to 55 people and building a world-class, high-retention culture that was instrumental in the company's continued success and growth.

Previously at a leading European e-commerce platform, I owned the enterprise architecture and created the technology vision that enabled our successful international expansion and the modernization of our core systems.

My leadership philosophy is to create business value by building teams with a high-ownership culture that drives the product forward. I enable this by providing them with a modern cloud platform, a world-class developer experience, and the strategic leverage of AI to boost productivity.
